I think Orton failed a wellness test and instead of getting a black eye from it, they faked a motorcycle accident to keep him off TV while he got rehab or help or something.
If I got into a motorcycle crash, it would be in some type of newspaper. The fact a famous WWE Superstar got hit and flipped 200 feet or whatever it was, and no media reports, NOTHING... just seems very very fishy then and even moreso now.
